Best Way to prep surface for spoiler
Can't seem to find too much on this topic.
For a spoiler that is gonna be put on with the 3m double sided tape. What is the best way to prep the area for the adhesive? I was going to wash the area with a mild dish soap, dry, claybar then rub the area with isopropyl alcohol. Are there any other preferred methods? I'm reinstalling my spoiler so I want to assure that it's not gonna lift, like it did the first time lol. Aside from cleaning the surface thoroughly I'll be using a heat gun to mold the spoiler to the trunk. Any other tips would be good, unsure if adhesive promoter is necessary or not or where to get it. |
Make sure the surface is stripped of any residue or wax. Other than that, pressure and a bit of heat can help the tape stick better. I've never had an issue w/ doing it this way.

I did all that you mentioned I also made sure the trunk was hot I just left the car in the sun

The adhesion promoter wipes they sell specifically for using 3m body molding tape... it is pretty much 90% isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning the area, removing wax run a cotton ball and the alcohol where the tape will be. Left it start to dry and then apply the tape/spoiler.
